Lord Lucas: ...say, "What industry?". Solar costs about 25p per kilowatt hour and the sun does not shine very much in this country, so it seems a basket case when looking at alternative technologies. DECC's levelised cost estimates for solar say that, while in 2007 its estimate was that solar would cost 51p per kilowatt hour in 2015, in 2011 it is estimating that the cost in 2015 will be 23p. The cost of...

The most recent independent projections on levelised generation costs are contained in a 2011 report Review of the generation costs and deployment potential of renewable electricity technologies in the UK, produced by Arup, and recently...

Kerry McCarthy: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change what estimate his Department has made of the levelised cost of each electricity generating technology; and what modelling assumptions were made in reaching this figure.
Gregory Barker: ...Conditions of Electricity Supply Licences states that a FITs Supplier must "make FIT payments no less than quarterly, except insofar as otherwise agreed in the Statement of FITs Terms." However the levelisation process is undertaken by Ofgem on a quarterly basis. Ofgem is currently reviewing responses to a recently concluded consultation on guidance for suppliers which included a question...
Gregory Barker: Ofgem does not make feed-in tariffs (FITs) payments; this obligation is on the electricity suppliers. In deciding on the frequency with which levelisation is carried out, a balance has to be struck between the cost of administering the scheme and the benefits of a frequent levelisation process.

Charles Hendry: ...and emerging renewable energy technology. We are aware of one in the world-in Norway-so cost estimates are highly uncertain. A recent study on behalf of the Offshore Valuation Group(1) indicates a levelised cost in the range of £120 to £201/MWh for floating offshore wind turbines in 2015. By 2045, it predicts that costs will reduce to £66 to £116/MWh. For fixed offshore wind, the same...

The feasibility study also calculated levelised generation costs for five potential Severn power schemes. These can be compared to recent estimates of levelised costs for onshore wind to give an indication of the relative cost of...
